I am a 32 year old mother of four boys. I am 5'7"...

I am a 32 year old mother of four boys. I am 5'7" and 140lbs. I had my boys all very close together... when I gave birth to my youngest son, my eldest was only 4 years old... So my body didn't get much recovery time between pregnancies. Also, MAN my boobs got huge when breastfeeding!! Bigger with each child... which was nice, until all the breastfeeding was done. Whomp Whomp!! Deflated balloons, much?!
My weight fluctuated between my last pregnancy and now (almost 7 years)... but no matter what I weigh, my stomach is never flat, and never will be. When I eat even a small meal, I look about 5 months pregnant. When I sit down, my belly flops over my pants.... I'm just constantly aware of it and it has driven me nuts for the last decade. I know that my stretch marks will never go away... but to have the extra skin removed? Hallelujah! Yes Please!!!!!
I have been going HARD at the gym for the last year-and-a-half and LOVE what it has done for my body... Nothing will get you results like moving heavy weights. I feel confident in my decision to have surgery knowing that I have done what I can in terms of health and fitness.
I'm scheduled to have a Mommy Makeover on July 14th and am super anxious about it. I waver between feeling confident about it, and worrying that it's all a big mistake... Not because of the procedure(s) itself, but because I am terrified that I'll die during surgery or post-op :/ I know it's pretty irrational... but not impossible.
Anyways, I'm going to try to post before photos. I have covered up tattoos and nipples/privates... Not sure if I wanna show the full monty online!!
I am getting a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, a breast lift, and breast implants. I believe my surgeon will also perform liposuction anywhere he thinks will make the overall results better.
I am SO SO SO SO glad that I found this online community... I have been obsessively reading about others' recoveries and surgery results.

So I know this is probably overkill... But I want to be able to REALLY compare my new body to my before body during post-op if I'm feeling regretful at any time. :)

Post-op suggestions/tips???

Hi all!
So I'm trying to make sure I have everything I may need during this last week before surgery. I have all of my prescriptions filled and have gone over dosage info with my hubby aka male nurse.
The things I'm curious about are shower stool, toilet riser, and recliner.
If the shower stool and toilet riser are cheap enough, I'll buy them for sure....
I'm really curious about the recliner thing. Would sleeping with my legs elevated have the same effect? I have two large wedges, so I was thinking that if I layer them on top of each other and make a huge rectangle/cube, that might be a good option for sleeping on my back???
What do those of you with experience think?
I really have no idea what it costs to rent a recliner here (I'm in Canada).
